Dave G Marquette,  MI Excellent Grip These front and rear tires are on my 04' Honda Interceptor. They instantly out performed the factory Dunlop’s. Grip was better, no slips yet with harder cornering, plus the bike seemed much more agile. I have nothing else to compare it too for durability besides the Dunlop sportecs, but I have approximately 2k miles on the tires and I have about 1/4 tread left in the center. I have a bad habit of seeing how fast I can hit triple digits. So my fault on tire wear. Excellent tire. Definitely recommend it to everyone.

josh wilson wise,  VA Metzeler - Sportec M1 Supersport Rear Tire SUCKS!!!!! I bought this tire brand new filled it up to the correct pressure for my triumph daytona 955i and rode it not even that hard for 813 miles and wires are sticking through, but on another note it does stick good when it has tread

Cynthia London,  ON Metzeler Sportec M1 rear Not much to say about the tire other than I was proven wrong about the condition of the tire when I received it (was told most tires from internet buys are hardened). The price was unbeatable by any local tire dealers.

Alfred Elizabeth City,  NC Great Tire Great tire for the money. This is the second set I've had. I have gotten better mileage on them than any Dunlop 207/ 208 , just as sticky, and good in the rain. I can't wait to try the M3's.

Craig hunt Bad Axe,  MI sweet The tire has awesome handling and grip behind my cbr 954 it goes when I want it to, no hesitation to torque up and show off. The tread pattern is nice but I only have about 1200 miles on the tire and it is about half wore out I may go to something a little harder next time and just ease off the throttle a bit.

Brooks Portland,  OR OEM Tire for BMW K1200S Outstanding customer service! Order shipped out four hours after the order was placed. I received the tire the next day. Tire works well in all conditions here in the Pacific Northwest. Good high speed and wet weather handling. Dealer tried to sell me a M3 with a Z speed rating 149 MPH for forty dollars more. M1's have a W speed rating 168 MPH. Keep up the good work Motorcycle Superstore you guys are the best!

Josh Clever,  MO Wear out fast, really poor in cold weather, square off after 50 miles. I purchased only the rear tire; it matched my OEM Bridgestone front tire, which made my bike nervous and generally unpleasant to ride. The tread pattern caused the tire to square off almost immediately even though almost all of my riding is done on twisty hills and it only lasted about 3k miles. The tire is very sticky once warm (takes longer than normal to warm up) but the feel characteristics are poor, going from total traction to total loss of traction where my Bridgestone tires had very predictable grip (generally low) but at least the Bridgestone tires never high-sided me with very un-aggressive throttle input even in 50 degree weather and two slow miles of warm-up.

Nick Bethesda,  MD Sportec M1 I have been using the M1 on my bikes for a while and for the value (I have always been able to get them cheap through Motorcycle Superstore) they are great street tires.

Nathan Orting,  WA Not Bad This tire has excellent grip and good wear life. A good buy for the money. I don't care for the front though, not much of a confidence maker on twisties. Warm up time needed on both but more so on the front.
